Chapter 15 This old lady is really a talent...
Of course, it is also due to the fact that Ma Erya likes to gossip about other people on a daily basis, and she can always find out some gossip about her.
When he was discovered, he sat down and started crying.
This invisibly offended many members, and we had many arguments on weekdays. I used to think that sending her to labor camp was too severe, after all, she was from the same brigade.
When they heard her crime, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. Are they expected to sympathize with such a remnant of the old society?
Someone shouted, "Down with Ma Erya, down with Ma Erya."
The other onlookers were also aroused and raised their arms and shouted in agreement.
Ma Erya couldn't hold it in any longer this time.
Standing on the platform, my legs were shaking, even more violently than when I was taken away by the militia yesterday.
She wished she could faint right now.
But she couldn't faint, because she hadn't seen her eldest grandson get married yet.
She looked at the crowd and saw her man Zhou Sangen standing behind them, trying hard not to draw attention to himself.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Meifeng, was also hiding in the crowd, shrinking her head and covering her face.
Her beloved eldest son and grandson were mixed in the crowd. Although they did not shout, they also waved their arms along with the crowd.
Ma Erya's heart was bleeding.
And the shameless guy from the second brother's family, his mouth is grinning so much that it almost reaches behind his ears, and he really hopes to be sent to labor camp.
The second child was also a good-for-nothing. Although she didn't shout with the crowd, she never said a word for her mother from beginning to end.
Now that he has a wife, he doesn't need his mother anymore.
Ma Erya felt very miserable.
When had she ever been so embarrassed in her life? Even if she quarreled and fought with those old women in the team, she would not suffer any loss. If someone scratched her, even if she couldn't fight back, she would just sit on the ground and cry, and she would have to be right anyway, and extort an egg or two from them.
Who knew that this time that damn girl Zhou Xian would not follow the usual practice and was so cruel that she arrested people without even having the chance to use her crying skills.
Thinking about those days in the small dark room, I feel really bad.
Things have come to this point, it’s time for Captain Zhou Jiefang to step forward.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at Ma Erya and said, "Do you have anything to say?"
Ma Erya now felt that she was the one who was wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about it.
She is not stupid. If she continues to say those words now, she will really be sent to labor camp.
Since I became a mother-in-law, I have basically not been involved in household affairs. Labor reform is different from working. It is not a life for a human being.
So Ma Erya made a deep confession, tears streaming down her face freely.
"I was wrong. This is a new society. I shouldn't still be using the old society's ways. I shouldn't have exchanged my second granddaughter with the Tao family just to get my eldest grandson a wife."
Ma Erya changed the subject and said, "But this is not all my fault. The Tao family is not a good family either. They proposed this. If I had known that this was illegal, I would not agree to it. I was deceived by the Tao family. I am not that kind of cruel grandmother."
Ma Erya looked up and finally saw her granddaughter Zhou Xiaocao who had come late in the crowd. She cried with great emotion, "Xiaocao, grandma didn't mean it. I was deceived by the Tao family. Don't worry, grandma will definitely not let you marry into the Tao family. Didn't your mom ask for ten yuan? Grandma will give it to me."
"There are still ten eggs." Zhao Chunxia shouted from the audience.
"Yes, give it to me. All of it." Ma Erya nodded quickly.
She urgently needed to vent her hatred at this moment, and this candidate definitely could not be in the team. After all, her current situation was not very good, so the Tao family of the Chrysanthemum Team was her target.
No matter whether it was ten dollars or ten eggs, she charged the Tao family for the debt.
Everything was fine at her family. It must be that the girl from the Tao family said something to coax her eldest grandson. How could it become like this? That boy had to marry her, otherwise such a thing would not have happened later.
This account must be settled on the Tao family.
Ma Erya reflected deeply on herself and felt that she was wrong, but the biggest mistake must have been made by the Tao family. After reflecting on herself, she burst into tears and even started slapping herself in the face, making a loud noise.
She expressed through her actions that she had deeply realized her mistake, so when she beat herself, she did it with a fatal blow.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent again and began to sympathize with her again.
Finally, the topic turned to Zhao Chunxia.
After all, it was her daughter who was beaten, and Zhou Xiaocao was standing next to Zhao Chunxia at the moment.
So everyone looked over here, after all, he was the person involved.
Zhao Chunxia pulled Zhou Xiaocao aside, grabbed her hand and said, "Xiaocao, your grandma has agreed to compensate you, so let's not send her to labor camp."
If this old lady is sent to labor camp, the compensation will be gone.
If you don’t want something, you’re a fool.
So Zhao Chunxia tried her best to wink at her daughter.
Seeing Zhou Xiaocao looking at her, Zhao Chunxia said quickly, "Don't worry, I'll keep those ten eggs for you. I'll cook one for you every day and I won't give them to anyone else."
Finally, Zhou Xiaocao looked up at Ma Erya, "Grandma, will you still make arbitrary decisions about my marriage in the future?"
"No, you are my granddaughter too. I was deceived. Otherwise, how could I do this? You can marry whoever you want in the future. I won't even ask you a question."
Even if I could, I shouldn't say it now.
She had gotten herself involved by making the decision previously, so she was stupid to care about this matter again.
However, Ma Erya really had no time to care about the second house at the moment. She thought that if she was not sent to labor camp this time, she would definitely go to the Tao family to get back the things she had paid as compensation.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaocao was silent again, Ma Erya said quickly, "The team leader and Director Zhou have said that arranged marriages are illegal. You didn't know that before, so you were confused. Now you understand it, and you will definitely not be confused again in the future."
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Xiaocao.
She just nodded and said, "Grandma, as long as you don't marry me to the Tao family, you will always be my grandma."
Everyone couldn't help but sigh, and the way they looked at Zhou Xiaocao was different.
Look, how kind this child Xiaocao is. Her grandmother almost beat her to death, but unexpectedly she could still understand her grandmother.
Zhao Chunxia was also a person who could judge the situation. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was on their side, she hugged her daughter and said, "Captain, Director Zhou, thank you so much this time. And everyone else has really helped. This time, we will forgive the old lady and give her a chance to reform."
When everyone saw the mother and daughter crying together, they looked at Ma Erya and shouted, "Aunt Ma, don't do this again in the future, or none of us will help you."
"That's right. What a good daughter-in-law, what a good granddaughter. How could you bear to kill her?"
Ma Erya confessed tearfully, saying that if she did it again, she would jump into the river without anyone helping her, and she would never cause any trouble for anyone.
As he said this, he looked as if he was ready to die to prove his integrity, and even as if he was about to jump into the river, but was stopped by everyone.
Zhou Jiefang stood aside and watched them quarreling quietly. When she had almost finished, he spoke, "Since everyone has agreed to give you a chance to reform, this time I will let you go home and reflect on it. If it happens again..."
"Don't worry, Captain. I promise there won't be a next time. If I dare to do this again, I will hang myself at home in the middle of the night and will never trouble you."
Zhou Jiefang's face darkened. "This is a new society. Don't keep talking about death. Even if we don't send you to a labor camp this time, you still need to reform yourself in the brigade, receive education, and become a new person."
"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll trouble you all in the future." Ma Erya said while wiping her tears.
Although all of this was within Zhou Xian's expectations, he was still a little surprised to see Ma Erya's series of reactions.
The old lady's reaction was acceptable. At least she understood the situation. She was not like some people who were so stubborn that they would resist to the end and would never repent.
Zhou Xian naturally knew this too. After all, in the original text, Old Lady Ma was extremely difficult to deal with. How could she be just an ordinary old lady if she could fight with the heroine to the end?
The heroine has suffered losses at her hands more than once.
But after such a mess, the heroine probably won’t be able to get married.
I heard that after Ma Erya returned home, she took a day off and then dealt with the family affairs, including paying compensation and dividing the family property.
The division was personally presided over by several cadres of the brigade, and Zhou Xian was also present.
Ma Erya had a calm expression on her face and divided the things in the house into three parts.
"Mom, why three servings?" the eldest son of the Zhou family asked in confusion.
"What's the matter? Your father and I are not human beings. Don't we want to live our lives?" Ma Erya said with a frown.
The eldest son of the Zhou family was a little afraid of his own mother. After being glared at like that, he immediately dared not speak.
But Sun Meifeng couldn't help but ask, "Mom, you and Dad are living with us, why do we have to divide it into three parts?"
This time, my mother-in-law was almost sent to a labor camp because of the trouble caused by my second son's family. So when my mother-in-law proposed to separate the family, Sun Meifeng naturally thought that my parents-in-law would live with them.
Since I live with them, the eldest wife must get the lion's share.
But she still didn't understand the meaning of dividing the household items into three parts. Did the old lady intend to give them two parts in the big house?
As a result, Old Lady Ma raised her eyelids, glanced at her coldly, and said shockingly, "Dividing the family means dividing you and the second son's family, and the old man and I will live alone."
Don't think she didn't see how the boss's family behaved when she was on the stage.
Normally, she was partial to her eldest grandson's family because she loved him so much. But this time, she saw the true colors of these bastards.
Love whoever you want, just separate them, as long as she and the old man live happily.
Not to mention their family members were surprised, even several cadres in the brigade couldn't help but look at Ma Erya.
Splitting up a family is not a rare thing. In some families, the family will split up after the children get married, while in other families, the family will split up only after the elderly pass away.
But no matter how they are divided, one child will always be chosen to take care of the family in old age. Some choose the older one, some choose the younger one. This is the first time I have seen someone divide up all the children like Ma Erya did.
"Mom, do you want my elder sisters to take care of you in your old age?" Zhao Chunxia couldn't help but ask.
My mother-in-law has two daughters, both of whom are married. One married in the Huaihua Brigade next door, and the other married in the commune.
Did she want her younger sister who was married to the commune to take care of her in her old age?
Zhao Chunxia felt that it was impossible. Even if her younger sister was willing, her parents-in-law were still there. Would they be happy?
"Why can't the old man and I live alone? What else can we do? Besides, what's wrong with splitting up the family? Do you dare not respect us just because we split up the family? I tell you, you must give us money and food every month."
Ma Erya glanced at Zhou Xian and said, "Otherwise, I will go to the Women's Federation to sue you for abusing the elderly and send you to labor camps."
Zhou Xian: “…” She really didn’t expect that there are people who can learn and use it right away.
This old lady is really a talented person.
